I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago speaking at a female entrepreneur event when I found a cute smoothie shop called Neckar on my morning walk. I gulped down one of the best-on-the-go smoothies I’d had in a while and it inspired me to semi re-create it at home. I used to use acai […]

However, there are times when I just want warm comfort food that’s quick and satisfies my elementary-school-girl-mac-&-cheese-cravings. 🙂 It’s been a little rainy in Bozeman, and this dish really hits the spot. In my never-ending quest to find satisfying meals that don’t […]

There’s nothing like a giant pot of chili or soup and a football game to really feel that Fall is here. I just love the changing of the seasons – I’ll miss summer but am looking forward to sweaters, boots, holidays, snow and, of course, fall flavors. This is my easy go-to healthy game day chili […]
